# Industrial Specification: Continuous Screw Press for Oil Extraction

## 1. Technical Definition
Industrial machine for continuous mechanical extraction of oils from oilseeds and nuts.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **15-80 bar hydraulic pressure, 0.5-3.0 rpm screw rotation, 60-120°C barrel temperature**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure &gt;85 bar causes seal extrusion, screw rotation &gt;3.5 rpm induces material bridging, barrel temperature &gt;130°C initiates protein denaturation**, Mechanism: **Seal failure via extrusion at 85 bar due to elastomer yield strength (15 MPa), bridging at 3.5 rpm from insufficient material residence time (τ&lt;45s), thermal degradation at 130°C from protein denaturation kinetics (k=0.12 min⁻¹)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
| t | Wall Thickness | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination (ISO 4406 Class &gt;20/18/15) | 8 | Servo valve spool sticking causing pressure oscillations (±10 bar) | Install 3 μm absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring (ΔP&gt;2 bar alarm) |
| Screw-barrel clearance wear exceeding 0.8 mm (initial 0.3 mm) | 8 | Reduced extraction efficiency (oil yield &lt;85% of theoretical) | Hard chrome plating (800 HV) on screw flights with ultrasonic thickness monitoring (1 mm minimum) |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in the construction of this continuous screw press?
**A**: The press features hardened alloy steel for the screw and cage, carbon steel for the frame and housing, and food-grade stainless steel for all contact parts to ensure durability and food safety compliance.

### Q: What is the typical processing capacity of this oil extraction machine?
**A**: This continuous screw press offers variable processing capacities typically measured in tonnes per hour, with specific rates depending on oilseed type and machine configuration to optimize extraction efficiency.

### Q: How does the choke mechanism work in this screw press?
**A**: The adjustable choke mechanism controls back pressure in the pressing cage, allowing operators to optimize oil yield and cake dryness by regulating the flow of material through the extraction chamber.
